Jiangnan Kitchen - Haymarket, Sydney

There always seems to be new restaurants popping up around the Haymarket area, more than I can seem to keep a track of! One of these new places is Jiangnan Kitchen on Goulburn street.

Noodle soup with vegetable and homemade meatballs

The soup is nice and clear, and the meatballs remind of of fish balls, though these are light and springy.

crispy rice with this sweet and sour pork and beef

This was an interesting dish with the crispy rice being pieces of puffed rice, reminding me of rice bubbles. A creative idea, but I didn't think it worked well in practice, there was way too much sauce which might have worked better with a bowl of regular rice.

spring onion pancake

Overall, not a bad place to grab a bite to eat. Would be keen to try some more items from the menu - it seemed like every second table had a hot pot looking dish, so perhaps that's the way to go?
